A New FrontierThe emergence of the Outdoor Workspace / En Ny Gränsyta: UtomhusarbetsplatsensGülenay, Robin January 2023 (has links)
A new norm and culture has been created which has lowered the threshold for individuals to work from different and alternate locations, such as the outdoor workspace. The purpose of outdoor workspaces has been suggested to be designed to allow and provide individuals to work in a different scenery with the intention of providing mental and physical health effects that will improve wellbeing and productivity. While there are some advantages to outside workspaces, there are also several difficulties and issues that should be noted. First, and foremost the outside workspace is exposed to nature and all that it entails (bugs, temperature, wind, noise etc.). The overarching purpose of this report was to investigate the hindering and promoting conditions for creating and working in outdoor workspaces at Scania. This included analysing office workers' perceptions and thoughts on outdoor workspaces, discovering what types of work assignments would be suitable to do outdoors, and conceptualizing how these outdoor environments could look like. Information was collected through semi structured interviews that were transcribed and analysed. During this phase, different views and opinions were identified and brought forth in this report. The overall goal of the outdoor workspace should be to design for the employee's well-being, comfort, and satisfaction. It would then stand to reason to design the outdoor workplace with the employee's main wishes in mind. A suitable location for the outdoor workspace was identified at Scania Sodertalje just outside the regular office premises. Suitable work tasks for the outdoor workspace were identified as group discussions, communicative oral tasks, meetings, and simple administrative tasks. The outdoor workspace should be designed to provide a comfortable and relaxing work environment. The outdoor workspace should be designed for the spring and summer seasons due to favourable weather conditions, provide ergonomically designed furniture that is durable and suited for outdoor use, access to reliable digital infrastructure (electricity and internet access) and clear rules, directives, and guidelines that are established and communicated to all workers regarding the use of the outdoor workspace. / En ny norm och kultur har skapats som har sänkt tröskeln för individer att arbeta från olika och alternerande arbetsplatser, till exempel utomhusarbetsplatsen. Syftet med utomhusarbetsplatser har föreslagits att utformas med ambitionen att tillåta individer att arbeta i en annan arbetsmiljö med avsikten att förse dom med de mentala och fysiska hälsoeffekter som kopplats till naturen i syfte att förbättra välbefinnande och produktivitet. Även om det finns vissa fördelar med utomhusarbetsplatser, finns det också flera utmaningar och problem som bör noteras. Först och främst utsätts arbetsplatsen och individerna för naturen och allt vad den innebär. Det övergripande syftet med denna rapport var att undersöka de hindrande och främjande förutsättningarna för att arbeta i utomhusarbetsplatser på Scania. Detta inkluderade att analysera arbetarnas uppfattningar och tankar om utomhusarbetsplatser, upptäcka vilka typer av arbetsuppgifter som skulle vara lämpliga att utföra utomhus och att konceptualisera hur dessa utomhusarbetsplatser skulle kunna se ut. Information samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer som transkriberades och analyserades. Under denna fas identifierades och fördes olika åsikter och tankar fram i denna rapport. Det övergripande målet för utomhusarbetsplatsen bör vara att designas för medarbetarens välbefinnande, komfort och tillfredsställelse. Det vore då rimligt att utforma utomhusarbetsplatsen med den anställdes huvudsakliga önskemål i åtanke, då vi vill att de anställda ska använda arbetsplatsen. En lämplig plats för utomhusarbetsytan identifierades vid Scania Södertälje strax utanför den ordinarie kontorslokalen. Lämpliga arbetsuppgifter för utomhusarbetsplatsen har identifierats som gruppdiskussioner, kommunikativa, muntliga uppgifter, möten och enkla administrativa uppgifter. Arbetsytan utomhus bör utformas för att ge en bekväm och avkopplande arbetsmiljö. Utomhusarbetsplatsen bör utformas för vår och sommarsäsongen på grund av de gynnsamma väderförhållandena, förses med ergonomiskt utformade möbler som är hållbara och lämpade för utomhusbruk, ge tillgång till tillförlitlig och adekvat digital infrastruktur (elektricitet och internetåtkomst) och bör ha tydliga regler, direktiv och riktlinjer som fastställs och kommuniceras till alla arbetare angående användningen av utomhusarbetsutrymmet.

Industrial look and feel – The combination of aesthetics and performance in production, a case studyBaudin, Samuel, Fredriksson, Marcus January 2018 (has links)
The increasing globalization of the market has rendered the competitive situation for companies worldwide more fierce than ever with order winners becoming order qualifiers and the demand continues to rise. Especially, the situation has become more complex for SME´s that are suppliers to large global companies. To ensure themselves that the suppliers are conforming to the high standards set by the large companies. In mediating the quality of the production as well as having a well-performing production, practitioners are using the term industrial look and feel to encapsulate a production that both deliver and looks the part. However, this term is loosely used, and a clear definition of it is missing, hence creating problems when the term industrial look and feel is used in production line design. In this study, the authors aim to investigate the possibilities of providing a clear definition of the term industrial look and feel and what it involves. Further, the authors want to investigate what are the important aspects to consider when designing a production line considering industrial look and feel. The study was directed by these three research questions: * How can Industrial Look and Feel be defined? * How does Industrial Look and Feel contribute to increased performance of a production line? * What is important to consider when designing a production line considering industrial look and feel in an HMLV environment? To answer the research questions a case study has been conducted at a company producing the robust data communication equipment and a literature review was conducted with the aim of understanding the concepts included in the term industrial look and feel. The study resulted in a definition of industrial look and feel, how industrial look and feel may contribute the production performance and important aspect to consider and include in the design of a production line considering industrial look and feel. Taking the newly defined concept of industrial look and feel into consideration, a concept assembly line was developed at the case study company.
